Hey so I stumbled upon this site tonight.

http://www.uniqueskins.com/Products/Samsung/Custom+Samsung+Nexus+S+Skin?t=c

They seem to sell really cheap bit high quality skins for the nexus s. I was thinking about buying a full white one and turning my nexus s fully white. Anybody want to give it a whirl and yell us how it goes? Ill do it pretty soon but I gotta wait til I get back from a trip.
[Nexus S Accessories] slimjimwoods:
im seriously tempted to give one a whirl, gotta be worth a try right?
[Nexus S Accessories] slimjimwoods:
I bought one :) lets see how it goes....
[Nexus S Accessories] CB620:
please post pics ive seen several skins online but i have yet to see someone with it. im looking for custom back doors. i would love that
[Nexus S Accessories] Nexus MC:
I may try this later on
[Nexus S Accessories] suksit:
Hmm, I'm pretty sure you won't get a "fully white" Nexus S because there will be some gaps when you apply the skin (due to Nexus S' shape -- something like the pic below.)

The best coverage you can get is what Best Skins Ever / Ghost Armor can currently achieve.
[Nexus S Accessories] kenvan19:
Definitely post pics please. I'm very very interested but I'd like to see it on someone's phone first.
[Nexus S Accessories] bangarang:
I want to know how the front will look with the capacitive buttons on the bottom. When you design the skin, it looks like the front covers the whole bottom...
[Nexus S Accessories] gabrialxue:
Anybody get theirs yet?
[Nexus S Accessories] richrach:
Any review?
[Nexus S Accessories] gabrialxue:
I'm still waiting on somebody to post back with their results

Thought this is interesting. Are these removable? Will it leave residues?
[Nexus S Accessories] slimjimwoods:
mine has arrived, i didnt design the front, so it was just white. I did however apply it just out of interest. It looked ok, perfect fit, but did cover the capacitive buttons (which still worked)

The back is really just a very well placed sticker, with a second part to attach to the 'chin', which i didnt bother with.

All in all, as you can see, it looks pretty good, and i will be ordering another darker one, this was just a quick test really :)

[Nexus S Accessories] mylexon20s:
Nice!!
[Nexus S Accessories] kenvan19:
can you take a picture of the front? I'm curious to see how it looks.
[Nexus S Accessories] slimjimwoods:
I'm afraid I took the front off already, I'm ordering another soon and this time I shall design the front and show that as well.

It fit perfectly but was white and didn't show the screen at its best, and the screen is one of the most important things to me!
[Nexus S Accessories] CB620:
Like this one.
[Nexus S Accessories] Greenarcher707:
I might take the plunge and check it out. Either that or i'll get the white carbon fiber chromatics.
[Nexus S Accessories] slimjimwoods:
anyone else given these a try? Id be keen to see any other designs....
[Xoom General] jamaicansolja:
ok, so is it true we will never get to be able to play 1080p video because of our cpu ?
[Xoom General] muyoso:
You can play 1080p videos, they just have to be encoded exactly how nvidia wants them to be encoded for them to play. 1080p baseline profile should play fine. If you are asking if you are simply going to be able to download a file and transfer it to the xoom and have it play, then that is probably not going to happen as most if not all hd video uses high profile h.264 encoding. Never say never though.
[Xoom General] jamaicansolja:
I love everything about the tablet. I sold my I pad for it! Ill look into different decoding methods but dang this is sad... I haven't seen a sucessfl solution to play correctly. I starting to think there is no native movie app because they knew it sucked. Ill give them until march 2nd.
[Xoom General] gogol:
Can your iPad play high profile H.264? Just curious ... I have never owned one.
[Xoom General] jamaicansolja:
my I pad will play "1080p" video from youtube downloaded and my xoom will not. They are .Mp4 files.
[Xoom General] gogol:
Try if you can play high profile encoded video.
[Xoom General] blozout:
Just thought I would throw out that there is a huge difference in performance and stability on the Xoom when using Rockplayer Universal from the Rockplayer website versus Rockplayer Lite in the Market. Many(not all) of my playback issues have been solved. Hope this helps some people.

http://www.rockplayer.com/index_en.html
[Xoom General] muyoso:
What playback issues were you having that were resolved? Are you playing avi's or mkv files?? Tried h.264 high profile encoded videos in either 720p or 1080p?
[Xoom General] blozout:
Unfortunately no, it does not resolve the mkv issues. But the overall playback quality is much improved for me. Xvid files are playing much smoother. There is much less tiling and pixelation and improved audio quality.
[Xoom General] Droid4All:
I have problems with Rockplayer freezing my Xoom when I play AVIs and change the scaling. However, if I leave it alone, it does play files that the stock video player doesn't.
[Xoom General] mmmboba:
I just tried playing an AVI and it seems to be playing just fine
[Xoom General] thehavock18:
Everyone is complaining about the high profile HD. It is sad something this powerful has a crazy limit or flaw but, In reality if you wanted to watch those are you really going to put that many movies on a micro SD card? Most of my TV shows and movies are avi. 10 hours of playback I want more to watch.

What I would have liked is a better way to stream from my nas. Sucks to have to copy over to watch something.
[Xoom General] keitht:
In reality yes. I want to copy what I have available quickly to the SD card and walk out the door. With the HD high profile issue, I have to convert everything I want to watch on the Zoom before I can walk out the door. Just converted a 2 hour 720p MKV movie using Handbrake and it took one hour to complete. But it does look very nice and works properly.
[Xoom General] gogol:
Is there any tablet out there that you can just throw any high profile HD video and it will play flawlessly?

Let me check, one of the best tablet right now is iPad.

No, it cannot play high profile video:

http://www.zeropaid.com/news/87921/ipad-as-video-device-not-so-much/

The iPad can only play back video files in .mp4, .mpv, and .mov file formats with H.264 video at Main Profile level 3.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps/48kHz. In other words, the iPad basically plays back video in the iTunes format and really nothing else.

So, I would not complaint much probably.

I know, there are some single core phones that can play high profile video.

But probably, Tegra 2 offers something else which those single core could not, for example: good battery life? Or ...?
[Xoom General] muyoso:
Average 720P movie in high profile h.264 is under 5 GB. Xoom has 30gb free space. Also, don't forget tv shows in 720P which are around a GB for 42 minutes.

And don't forget that as soon as the Xoom is given CIFS support, it will be able, or should be able rather, to stream movies and whatever else off your network.
[Xoom General] muyoso:
Uh, the Galaxy Tab running Froyo cranks out high profile like a boss. My Epic4g cranks out high profile like a boss.
[Xoom General] keitht:
My Galaxy S phone plays them flawlessly. I guess my expectations were too high. I thought a dual core processor would be capable.
[Xoom General] CJNYC:
BS...

My iPad looks amazingly smooth on high profile x264 files encoded by Handbrake. The XOOM chokes so badly on these files it looks like a bad slideshow. YOU ARE WRONG.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] negative13:
I'm using a fully rooted (a2sd dt) stock htc desire.

Sometimes when I install an application, it will reboot at the 2nd boot screen (quietly brilliant)

I say sometimes because after a couple of hours and I try it again it will install but if I download another app , the phone will restart on that new app.

Any ideas?

Thanks
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mistake37:
Same problem happened to me. I did a factory reset, cache wipe and it's back to normal :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] negative13:
What rom are you using?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rayiskon:
the same thing used to happen to me when installing applanet (stock ROM) , i considered it normal as if the app needs a reboot to function properly :D
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] negative13:
The app doesn't install. It restarts when installing.

Hey guys

I wanna flash my lg swift with 2.3.2. But I don't know how to? All I know is that I need to get a rom with fastboot enabled and then I must install recovery and then I flash. But how I do all this? Is there a tutorial some where that explains me how to do it? I searched everywhere.

Phone. Lg gt540 rooted and has android 2.1 v20b

THANKS IN ADVANCED
[GT540 Optimus General] keewanchoapsss:
There are plenty of threads already explaining this. You need KDZ updater. The 2.1 ROM with fastboot. After you flash these with KDZ updater you will have a fastboot enabled ROM. Make sure your battery is FULLY charged before doing any o this or your indicator will get screwed...like mine. The you use fastboot to flash the ROM via ADB. That's the basics, now go look on the forums for more detailed descriptions as they are there.
[GT540 Optimus General] com975:

:D My sentiments exactly.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] taha_e:
This a CWM update for your js3/js5 custom roms/deodexed roms. it will simply add persian/arabic and urdu support to your phone.

Credits go to

- Darkyy for his RTL language support (base of this update is Darkyy RTL which you may find it here )

- g00ndu who made the great guide for adding locale to the roms (find it here)

Spec of this update:

-Samsung default keyboard with persian/arabic/urdu support

-Swype keyboard with persian/arabic/urdu support

-web surfing with above mentioned languages

known issues:

-you should choose default font only or install fonts which are supporting your language otherwise some alphabets are not shown correctly

-in sending sms when you are typing the firs alphabet of your first word for some unknown reasons will get additional alphabet which you have not typed it

you may test this issue by this word in your language : salam سلام

then it will write سسلام or اسلام this issue was reported on darkyy RTL support also. I wish Darky will see this post and do some mod for it

for those who are looking for the persian language support can take a look at the main forum here

Due to the problem with themed roms the locale and some applications has been removed from the file which means you will not have menu in persian/arabic or ordu but web surfing or typing is supported in above mentioned languages.

now let's get to work

Backup first

-Download the file (Main update) from below link

http://www.multiupload.com/NCTAQ7YYRL

or from this link

http://rapidshare.com/#!download|161dt|451814235|WOF_HU_taha_e_Farsi_js5-v2.zip|20306

copy the file to your internal sdcard and flash it via CWM/recovery

the first reboot will take a while please be patient
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] leoon:
Great work, and I can confirm the issue of the first letter, though it isn't that disturbing.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ragin:
Great work......
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hitbit911:
thanx so much for Arabic support

but where i can find those custom roms any link pls
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] taha_e:
custom roms means like "Doc and stefunel rom" or "darkyy rom' or any other unofficial rom

you may also make a deodexed rom by yourself. if you don't know how then search the forum I'm sure there are many threads regarding this subject
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] g00ndu:
@ OP,

Congratulations!! You have made many people very happy.

It is a lot of hard work, but certainly you have done yourself proud!

Excellent work. :)

Edit: I'm not sure the bug of additional letters is due to lib issues or framework issues. I would suggest to compare the lib folders for these 2 roms, maybe Darkyy may have not included one more .so file?

If you are using gtglauncher, you can also add the locale you want without decompiling the gtglauncher. All you need is to decompile twlauncher, add the locale and recompile back. Then just copy the resources.arsc to the gtglauncher. Of course, you will need to add additional strings to your values folder xml, like what gtg465x has done before recompiling.

Note that it works on 16bit, will always fc once if you do it with the 16bit-disabled. Check out webstar1 Starlauncher thread where I have posted.

Good luck.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] SirM2X:
Thank you for the Persian support :-)

I'm currently using Darky's Rom and his patch for Persian support. The issue of the first letter is not the only issed! When writing an SMS, additional blanks and spaces are appended to the text. Wonder if yours does the same...

Great job, well done!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] g00ndu:
Looks like it is the framework that is controlling the input. Hence it will be extremely difficult to resolve, unless you have the knowledge to understand fully the mechanics of the xml.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] SirM2X:
Is is possible to use framwework parts from an Arabic rom like JPJPG for example?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] g00ndu:
It is possible, but it will be extremely difficult to do it. You will need to baksmali framework.jar and see if there are distinct differences between the arabic rom and the 2.2.1 rom.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] taha_e:
Hi again g00ndu good you can remember me :D , well I have checked framework.jar and I found one file with the name of arabicreshape.smali which I could not find it in persian/arabic rom (jpjpg) in the same file. I think I have to work on it, on the other hand if darkyy could give me a hint for what he has done it might be helpful
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] g00ndu:
That's a good start, right now is to find out how this interact with the overall framework of the rom.

Perhaps you can just add this $smali to the 2.2.1 framework.jar and recompile it back.	See if it will throw out any errors. If there is, look at what the errors say.

If not, then see if you can replace this modded framework.jar with the stock one.

You better get your original one into a flashable cwm zip, and put it in your internal sd card. In case it doesn't work, you can always flash back without going back to odin.

I wish you luck, brother taha-e. :)

If you can do it, I'm sure our ME friends will be very happy. And you have my full support on this. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] g00ndu:
If you do include camera.apk as part of the rom, just make sure you don't compressed the modded apk. For me it always fc, until I modded a decompressed version.

Hope this helps you. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] taha_e:
Thank you very much for your support here is the file which darkyy has added to framework.jar

http://www.mediafire.com/?mayrcr4i97oyz17

maybe you or those who are familiar with xml can take a look and see if there is any problem with this file

I also will continue with other files. the file libskia.so is missing in darkyy update

I think this file has some relations with RTL, Im going to try it tomorow
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] taha_e:
wrong post I could not delete it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] taha_e:
For those who want persian/arabic locale (menues in persian/arabic) and they are using Darkyy 9.3 you may download the file below and replace the 2 files (framework-res.apk and tw-framework-res.apk) with the files in the main update

or you may do it by root explorer , just copy files to /system/framework

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] g00ndu:
Did you manage to resolve the known bugs, my friend? :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] cna88:
This is great work ... and it works just fine , it has some bugs but ignorable ;)

thank you and again , this is coooooool :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] taha_e:
I'm still working on it,I have limited information on this issue as a result of that I have to do research and study at the same time,so the progress not so smooth, on the other hand the gingerbread rom made me a bit lazy :D , seems 2.2.1 will be out of date soon
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] g00ndu:
Maybe, maybe not. Because, there are plenty of issues to be ironed out for Gingerbread before it can become stable. That is going to take some time. Besides that, there is an added advantage, which is that whatever you have done now, could be easily be ported over to Gingerbread. In fact I can bet that you may be the first one that release a 2.3 rom that supports hebrew, arabic and urdu!

Don't give up now.

I'm certain you are pretty close to resolving those issues, even though some don't mind. Just do it whenever you have the time, buddy! :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ravi84m:
doesn't work with the latest darky rom.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] SirM2X:
Thanks man! I didn't notice you were a fellow Persian! ;)

I'm still on Darky's 9.3 Beta 3 because of the lack of Persian support.

I don't want Persian interface. All I want is to be able to use Persian in the messaging app (Persian SMS costs here, you know!)

A big خسته نباشید goes to you for all your efforts ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] taha_e:
I have tested on the darky 9.3 final its working on my phone. its better to delete framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk from the update file and then install.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ravi84m:
The problem is the same like Darky's fix the menus are messed up...

[Desire General] wildcardspv:
Forget about the update and custom ROM it :D
[Desire General] eden2812:
Never ever go for the official update if you're rooted. A couple of users early this year killed their phones this way.

As per wildcard, just get a custom 2.2 rom.
[Desire General] Meaple:
If you want the official stock rom rooted you can install an RUU (with a Goldcard if required) then root that or you can pick up one of the pre-rooted stock roms. Either way will work although using the pre-rooted rom will be quicker.

For flashing a Rom , 42Turkeys said use Titanium back up...Will it create conflict with Clockworkmod ?

When I do back up using Titanium, will it back up my previous ROM ?

How can i check which ROM is currently flashed in my phone?

Here is what I see after settings->My phone

I talked to my seller he said that It's a one click system update that takes 2 mins to update to Froyo 2.2 but above you guys mentioned not to do the updates

Please help!
[Desire General] *damo*:
If your going to use a custom Rom use ownheredesirehd it is great uses Android 2.2.1 and has the new HTC sense, I use it and I get around 2600 every time on benchmark. It is a very good Rom and you should really consider using it.
[Desire General] *damo*:
What you need to do is:

1. root your phone using unrevoked

2. Start up the phone into bootloader and at the top is it says s-on you need to download and do this from alphabet.nl

3. If it says s-off don't worry and download a custom Rom (I recommend ownheredesirehd)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=860602&page=51

4. Boot into recovery and press install from .zip on sdcard

5. Find your downloaded file and press yes install.

6. It could take about 25 minutes to install but will be worth it.

Before you do this make sure you have a backup of your current Rom by booting into recovery and selecting backup.

Also backup all your apps using titanium backup so that you don't lose them.

And lastly before you flash a new Rom make sure your sdcard is partitioned into two partitions, all remainingFAT32 and 1.5gb ext3

Reply to tell me how it goes or if you need any more help.
[Desire General] ipskang:
Should I install Titanium back up first , wil it not create conflict with clockworkmod ? Also, backup is on the phone or by connecting to PC

Are there any steps?
[Desire General] eden2812:
Titanium backup is an app for the phone. Clockwork is a recovery. So to answer your question, no, they will not conflict, and all backing up is done through your phone, although once backed up, you have the option of putting the backup in a safe place in your PC.

Yes, Google or search the forums first, then come back with your questions and I will be glad to help :)
